The hotel has a great location, close to the metro and away from the busy city center, which makes getting around easy. The staff was quite friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms were smaller than I expected, and the walls were thin, making it a bit noisy at times. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you don’t mind the room size for the price you pay.

The hotel offers a great location that's convenient to Essen and Gelsenkirchen while being tucked away from the busyness of the city center. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, which made my stay pleasant. However, the rooms were on the smaller side compared to previous stays, and the thin walls meant I could hear a lot from nearby rooms. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located just outside the busy center of Essen. The rooms were basic but sufficient for a good night's sleep. I appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff was, though some services could have been improved. The dining options felt a bit overpriced for what they offered. Overall, it’s a good value for money, but not without its drawbacks.
